In an emotional and historic moment for the Minecraft community, the official YouTube channel of the late content creator Technoblade has surpassed 20 million subscribers. This milestone arrives nearly three years after his tragic passing in June 2022 and serves as a powerful testament to the enduring impact he had—and continues to have—on millions of fans around the world.
A Legendary Creator Remembered
Born as Alex, Technoblade was widely known for his brilliant wit, unmatched Minecraft PvP skills, and humble, humorous commentary. He gained widespread popularity for his challenge-based gameplay and for roleplaying as a crowned pig avatar—an image that quickly became iconic across the Minecraft fandom. Despite rarely showing his face, Technoblade connected with his audience in a uniquely personal way, creating a lasting legacy through authenticity, creativity, and perseverance.
Throughout his career, Technoblade collaborated with many of the biggest names in the Minecraft and YouTube community, including Dream, MrBeast, TommyInnit, and Philza. His appearances in Minecraft Championships (MC Championships), Dream SMP, and Hypixel Skyblock videos helped solidify his reputation as one of the most skilled and entertaining Minecraft players on the platform.
His passing in 2022 after a courageous battle with sarcoma sent shockwaves through the online gaming world. His final video, titled “so long nerds,” was delivered through his father, who has since been lovingly referred to by fans as Technodad. The video has amassed tens of millions of views and remains one of the most touching moments in YouTube history.
The Push Toward 20 Million: A Community Effort
On May 25, 2025, two new videos were uploaded to Technoblade’s YouTube channel. The first featured a powerful tribute video, highlighting a Technoblade cameo in A Minecraft Movie—an Easter egg that was kept secret until now. The second was a compilation of some of his most memorable Minecraft moments. Both videos concluded with a heartfelt request for fans to help the channel reach 20 million subscribers before what would have been Technoblade’s birthday on June 1.
The Minecraft community responded immediately. Thousands of fans began sharing the videos across platforms like Reddit, X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Discord. Prominent creators who had once played alongside Technoblade also shared messages of support, encouraging their followers to help achieve the milestone. The result? Not only did the channel reach its goal—it surpassed 20.2 million subscribers just days later.
“Technoblade Never Dies” – A Legacy Carved in Stone and Code
In the comments section of the new videos, fans shared emotional tributes and expressed gratitude to Technodad, who has taken care to preserve Technoblade’s digital legacy. Many repeated his unforgettable line—“Technoblade never dies”—a phrase that has come to symbolize the immortality of his influence.
But Technoblade’s legacy is not limited to YouTube numbers. He has been immortalized within Minecraft itself. Mojang, the developers of Minecraft, paid tribute to him by adding a pig wearing a golden crown to the Minecraft Java Edition launcher—a permanent reminder of the creator who loved the game more than most.
On the Hypixel server, where Technoblade spent a large part of his early YouTube career, a statue in his honor continues to stand tall. Players frequently visit the site to leave signs, flowers, and written messages. Some even build in-game shrines or hold group ceremonies on special dates.
Philanthropy and Purpose: The Heart Behind the Crown
Technoblade’s passing inspired more than just digital memorials. In October 2022, only months after his death, the Minecraft community came together for a massive charity livestream event. Spearheaded by his friends and fellow creators like Dream and TommyInnit, the event raised over $500,000 for the Sarcoma Foundation of America—the very organization Technoblade supported during his own fight with cancer.
This initiative marked one of the largest community-driven charity efforts in the history of gaming content, further highlighting how his life had meaning far beyond videos and subscribers. Fans from across the globe donated, shared stories, and expressed how Technoblade had inspired them to be better, laugh more, or even pursue their own creative dreams.
Looking Ahead: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future
As we approach what would have been Technoblade’s 26th birthday on June 1, 2025, it’s clear that his memory is not fading—it’s thriving. From modded Minecraft maps made in his honor to new players discovering his content for the first time, the influence of his work spans generations of Minecraft fans.
Technodad continues to be a pillar for the community, ensuring that Technoblade’s voice, humor, and legacy are never forgotten. Occasionally uploading unreleased content or special compilations, he offers fans both comfort and continuity.
Technoblade may be gone, but his voice echoes in every server, every duel, and every laugh he left behind. With over 20 million subscribers now standing behind his name, one truth remains clear:
Technoblade never dies.
